Edit the CSS stylesheet to change links to have a padding of 10px. I did that but it says it's wrong.

Java Script task 3

css/style.css 
/* Background Color */
html {
  background: #99E6FF;
}


/* Body */
body {
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 800px;
}


/* Images */
img {
  width: 100%;
}

.car { 
  display:block;
  margin: 40px auto; } 0 50px 0;
  padding:10px; }
}


/* Links */
a {
  background: transparent;
  border: 0;
  display: block;
  float: left;
  margin: 0;
  outline: 0;
  padding: 10px; }
  width: 33%; 
}

    <audio id="bikeBell" src="sounds/bikeBell.mp3" preload="auto"></audio>


    <!--Javascript-->
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function bikeBell() {
            document.getElementById('bikeBell').play();
        }

    </script>

  </body>

You have a few syntax errors in your css. First in your ".car" selector you have a stray curly brace and stray text after your margin declaration. In that same selector you have a stray curly brace after your padding declaration. Also in your "a" selector you have a stray curly brace after your padding declaration.

Proper CSS syntax is...

.selector {
  property1: value;
  property2: value;
}

Hope that helps :thumbsup:
